I put things away as you do, however, my tailor always has me try something on.
Was the assistant still there? Was the assistant's work ever in question?

Such a horrible experience. Have you considered starting over, having your tailor replace the items (pay for them) and then having him personally alter the replacements?

A suggestion: take pictures of your garments from different angles - with your cell phone - before leaving them with this tailor.

My tailor also insists that I try the garment on before leaving the shop. In fact, I only pick my items up when I know that I won't be in a rush, and will have enough time to make sure the alterations were done properly. I'm sure that this protects not only the tailor, but also saves the customer the inconvenience of having to return an incorrectly altered garment.

I really resent the way it was handled on his part and I have more to say when I pick the items up. The second item IMHO is ruined.

Sounds like his assistant did the work and made the mistakes......and perhaps your tailor didn't realize what was done. Maybe he even wondered if you were mistaken. Maybe the instructions for what was to be done weren't clearly conveyed from you to the tailor or from the tailor to the assistant.
If you have been satisfied with his work and have had a good relationship for many years, I'd give him another chance. Be very sure that instructions are clearly written and understood before you leave anything for alterations. I think the ideas of taking cell phone pics before dropping items off and trying things on in the shop before you take them home make good sense!

I can't imagine having something altered and not trying it on to make sure the fit was right.

Find a new tailor. This person doesn't value your business.
